5 Kitchen Skills to Master Before You Turn 30

Turning 30 is a milestone for many: it often means items ticked off a bucket list and fewer life goals to work on. And while we think you don’t need to be a chef-in-training by the time you hit the big 3-0, there are certain kitchen and eating habits we think you must retire (think: eating instant noodles three times a week).

You’ve been relying on a hit-or-miss method for years but this is one skill that you can easily master. We know boiling eggs isn’t as easy as it looks but you can make them just the way you like them: runny or medium-cooked for 7 minutes.

2. Having a signature go-to dish.

Whether it’s a pasta dish your mom taught you or perfecting your lola’s adobo recipe,wow everyone by being able to cook one dish perfectly every single time.
